Marriage with the Younger Brother of the Man Who Betrayed Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Caroline, who had been silently staring at me while gripping her bow, suddenly spoke.
“Why don’t you just stop hiding and come out? I’ve known you’ve been following me since earlier.”
Even after hearing those words, I remained motionless, keeping my body concealed.
I wasn’t sure whether she had genuinely sensed my presence or was merely bluffing.
Then Caroline nocked an arrow onto her bow and spoke again.
“Come out already! I heard every rustle you made. If you don’t show yourself, I’ll consider you a monster and shoot!”
I continued to stay hidden in silence.
If I revealed myself now, the entire operation would fall apart.
The moment I appeared, Caroline would realize she was being watched.
From then on, she’d smuggle monsters out with even greater secrecy and caution.
For that reason, I held my breath and stayed hidden until Caroline pulled her bowstring taut.
“I’ll count to three. If you don’t come out by then, I’ll really shoot. One—”
I readied myself to dodge the arrow, just in case.
While I was preparing, Caroline spoke again.
“Two—”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.

Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
